Hey, it's Anthony Crowley. You know what to do, do it with style.

[demonicmiracle]

Tell me, then

[He's really not in the mood to go back and forth for twenty minutes playing word games.]

[sathan]

I summoned you in the hope of helping to free you from that place. Instead I received an angel. You.

[demonicmiracle]

I've not been that creature for a very long time

[sathan]

I'm aware. And yet this place showed him to me.

[demonicmiracle]

Great, terrific. Real glad for you.

[He's very rarely this short with her, but — he's still sporting bruises from the spectacularly bad decision he made after getting out of that place, and he's feeling too raw to be nice.]

[sathan]

( she didn't realise her dominant was such a child. can you feel her sigh )

I prefer you.

( a moment later )

I could heal you.

[demonicmiracle]

I'd hope so.

I don't want to be healed

[sathan]

I'm sorry?

[demonicmiracle]

Some things ought to leave scars

[sathan]

This place does enough without leaving more scars.

[demonicmiracle]

[He really doesn't want to get into this. Time for a topic change that isn't even remotely subtle.]

Have you seen Prudence? She was with me in there, but I got out before her, wanted to make sure she's alright.

[sathan]

She is. She's been to the shop.

[demonicmiracle]

Glad she's alright

I'm not going to be around for a bit, but you can call if something important comes up

[sathan]

Retreating doesn't help. From experience.

( the first time she's been so open about her tough past )

[demonicmiracle]

I'm not alone

[He isn't pulling away from eeveyone, he and Aziraphale just need time to heal.]

[sathan]

I assumed that. The advice doesn't change.

[demonicmiracle]

I can't handle other people right now

[Which is more of an admission than he'd like to have made, but there it is.]

[sathan]

( it takes a few minutes but a bottle of whiskey appears in front of him )

That may help.

[demonicmiracle]

[He's gone off alcohol at the moment, but he appreciates the gesture.]

Thank you

[sathan]

Let me know if you change your mind.

( company or healing )

[sathan]

Lucifer's here.

( it's been a few days since she's actually realised that but she's been plotting and casting spells. he may claim to not be from her universe but she still doesn't trust him. or the supposed kindness )

[demonicmiracle]

Could've used the heads up a few days ago

[He's not actually fussed, but after running into Lucifer and Anderson's warning to Aziraphale, Crowley had gone back through the network and seen Lilith talking to him.]

I kind of like him, actually.

[sathan]

( is that-- guilt? good job this is only a text )

I don't believe the facade.

[demonicmiracle]

It doesn't feel like a facade, he's not much like what I'm used to

He knows that I'm shacked up with an angel
and was rather chill about it

[sathan]

Lucifer was kind when I met him.

( her lucifer. and crowley's seen her reactions to him since, what had happened with adam and her fear and emotion-- )

He'll have an agenda.
